Introduction. . . . .

Colonialism was a way for settlers to take what was not theirs, and export it to make more revenue. However settlers cleverly, convinced themselves that they were helping the countries they settled in. They would call the native people barbaric, primitive, and uncivilized.  Settlers always forced western culture on these countries, and it hurt the people’s pride and sense of independence. Often the settlers were more barbaric to the people of the countries which they settled. Rudyard Kipling even wrote a poem about how the white man must take care of everyone else, and this was his burden. Colonialism was often a violent process as many people were killed by colonizers. Most of the time these native peoples were killed unjustly for any array of reasons. These paintings illustrate the thoughts of settlers on countries they colonized as well as the gruesome effects of colonization.
